Welsh Masters veteran athlete Paul Brooks, who represents Wrexham AAC, said he was very happy with a productive day at the Telford Games last Saturday, where he set three new MV75 Wrexham club records.

The evergreen throwing champion competed in several T&F events and his times included: hammer, 15.12m; shot putt, 7.19m, and discus 23.94m. Paul additionally said well done to colleagues Will and Sally, and says he has his fingers crossed for another similar T&F event this weekend in Sheffield.

And (*above) Paul Brooks is shown with in his other role as an official with the North Wales Regional Athletics Council (NWRAC), with Rachel Shipley (Abergele Harriers), who received her champion’s shield and gold medal as the first senior woman, at the Regional half marathon championships at Caernarfon last Sunday.

Paul later added: "Congratulations to our new North Wales half marathon champions: Martin Green (NWRRC) and Rachel Shipley (Abergele). Martin finished in 74.35, almost 2 minutes ahead of the runner-up, and Rachel had a lead of almost 5 minutes when she finished in 86.15."
